R-SIM is a SIM card add-on that looks like a really thin SIM card that mounts on top of your nano sim (or below depending on the model) that allows you to bypass the sim lock by hard coding a new ICCID that is unlocked.

You can buy the R-SIMs off ebay/amazon and they are usually $10 give or take.

It works reasonably well and the wiki talks about how to operate it, the only challenge is sometimes iOS updates break it and sometimes you need a new ICCID but for the most part it's great and allows you to use a SIM locked phone with any provider. and in this case you dont have to wait 180 days with Cricket to get an unlock code.

Keep in mind it is unlike the factory unlocking process which is permanent. Here you are dependent always on the R-SIM.

back in the day it also went by the name Gevey SIM.
As long as you have an old Sprint SIM card laying around (they're reusable)... and an IMEI from a phone that's compatible with Sprint's network, you can sign up for the $5 service (data only) or if you want to play it safe... $6 service (500mb data, 100 min). Pay for service, enter in IMEI and SIM card info, activate. You'll have instant access to a new phone number, pin to access port out info.
I bought 2 already. total cost $196 for 2 phones. trade in value of SE at apple is $210

How did you get two for 196?
If I do that, it comes to 220 before tax

you only get 2 per address. and I think that limit is further limited to 2 promo phones per 6-12 months.

Last time I hit up a Cricket deal I was able to use different ccs etc and even changed st to street etc to get a few more phones sent to my house. And I was able to send phones to Mom's house on top of it with my other cc's.

But no go this time. It seems like a hard 2 per address limit. And you can't change st to street now because they match up your address to one in the system. And you can't use a 2nd or 3rd cc to send them to different addresses because it appears you can only send it to the billing address for the cc.

So to get above the 2 per address limit, you're gonna have to send it to Mom's address and use her CC.
I've been able to get the promo pricing every 2-3 months. So iPhone 7, 8 and now SE and 2 per order.

Also I let my accounts die with the end of the first month. So maybe that causes the account promos to reset?

I got my iPhone XR for free from Costco T-mobile March 2019 deal, after adding a line ($10/month, cancel anytime) and trading in a Total Wireless iPhone 6S which I obtained for $50. That was the best iPhone deal ever. Phone was unlocked by T-mobile after a month of usage.

This on the other hand is not a deal. You're paying $50 for a locked phone that will cost $150-$180 of service to unlock, and this phone has a tiny screen, huge bezels and a 1.8k mah battery. This means poor productivity, despite the fast processor. The battery will degrade so much that in 2 years you will not even want to use this phone anymore, despite Apple supporting this phone until 2024. Trust me on this one.

For a $100 unlocked Android budget phone, I can get a phone with 5000 mah battery and 6" 1080p screen with slim bezels all around, and I can afford to upgrade the phone to better specs every 2 years and I don't have to worry about deteriorating battery health and continuous support from the manufacturer.

Got one, had a verizon line that I was going to cancel anyway. 110 or so for a new iPhone SE. Have to pay for a month but worth for the phone. Just got 2 XRs for 299 each as well. I use Cricket so no big deal if the phone is locked for 6 months. Sucks current customers can't get this price and you have to do the whole bring your number but if it saves some money why not

Wait so can I just buy multiple of these phones for $110 each (before tax) and then trade them into Apple for the $205 trade in value? Seems too good to be true.
Seems more like a lot of work and waste of a great phone.

Very good deal. For two phones only cost $198 + $5 Tello #s -$10 CB = less than $200. I see lots of people are asking where to get reliable port numbers. If you have compatible Sprint phone and SIM lying around, get a Tello referral code from e/bay, and sign up for the $5 plan from them, they will give you a phone number. Also, you will get $10 credit, which can be used to buy two more phone numbers. Account # and PIN can be easily retrieved from your account.
